A man who sent billions of junk e-mails hawking on-line college degrees, sexually explicit websites and "generic 
Viagra" must pay more than $5-million in penalties to America On-line, a federal judge ruled.

Christopher William Smith, of Prior Lake, Minn., was considered one of the world's worst spammers, operating under the

operating an on-line pharmacy.
